I'm typing this whilst crying my eyes out so excuse any typos.
My daughter is 3 she is non verbal and awaiting her autism assessment.
At the minute she isn't sleeping very well. She goes down like an absolute angel at 6pm. Wakes up at 9pm when I'm about to go to bed and it's game over. She won't go back to sleep till 4am. Weekdays is school for eldest and nursery in afternoons for youngest (who I'm talking about) we have to wake up at 6am. I've had 2 hours sleep. It's been like this for a month now. My eldest is very much struggling to cope with it all too because my youngest keeps her up at night.
I've spoke to numerous pharmacies and my GP and they can't do anything because she isn't fully diagnosed yet with autism im terms of medication. How is this right?! I mean she is having hardly any sleep this isn't normal this is worse then a newborn. She's up screaming and kicking away. Not in pain I don't think. Pain is mostly with me as I'm the one she kicks.
I'm being physically hurt day in and day out by her. She whacked me in the eye last night and it still hurts.
I wish she could talk to let me know what's going on.
My husband is in the army and we move around a lot and I have no friends here. Every day I'm crying my eyes out with no support. I'm struggling mentally and physically with all of this.
Someone put there please tell me it gets better. Tell me its not for life. I just want what's best for her and I want to help her sleep.
